Add profiling of a Notes database to Domino (and Notes)

Often, a Notes database design grows and grows, developers come and go, and after 10 or more years, nobody knows whether elements in the database are used or not. The difficult way to find out is by asking the users. A more logical way would be to set up Profiling of a database, meaning that a separate profile log database is created where the server logs details per element. For instance, per form, subform and view the number of times the element was used on a day. This way, after some weeks, a more or less complete overview of the usage of design elements can be obtained.
Goals: delete unused views, unused forms, unused subforms, agents, etc. Some info can already be found in the log database but it is largely insufficient.

    Yes I know, but I see this from a Designer's point of view, not an Admin: I would like to know what elements are used or not, preferably configurable (views, forms, subforms, shared actions, all the events if need be, sections that remain invisible, maybe even fields...) in order to reduce the design of the database and also the maintenance costs, which are related to the size of the design.

    Note: The index of unused views is removed after (default) 45 days of inactivity. So it wont harm the view index performance.
